It's a Platinum MasterCard in case you were wondering.

She says she plans on using it for dog treats and to get her very own kitty cat, despite not having a job or any income.

I wonder what would happen if you maxed the card out and then defaulted? Who would the cc company go after? It would be interesting to see what would happen.

and the govt wants to bail out the idiot companies....

This reminds me of an episode of Married With Children where the dog gets a credit card in his name and Al max'd it out buying stuff. I think Al ended up having to pay for everything.....

That's scary that a credit issuer gave your dog a credit card. Who was the issuing bank/creditor?

stories like your dog getting a card tick some folks off LOL

my son applied for a card at a bank where he had 25K in that bank and was refused a card since he was only 19 with no credit ;-0

last year they finally sent him a card with a 1K limit , totally stupid but I bet the idiots at Key bank would give your dog a card LOL even tho the dog has no account at the bank and no provable income ;-)

My dog is 29 in human years, so that may be why she was issued a card when your son was too young at 19. She also has no credit history, and she is high risk for barking. Not sure they take that into consideration for credit cards, though.

This thread CRACKS ME UP.

Your dog is 29? that is amazing! You are doing something right? What breed is he?

Bravo! hahaha that's hilarious.... I wonder what they would say if you brought your dog into the bank and asked for services related to the card (cash advance, credit limit boost, or even just change of address).

Them: "I'm sorry sir, but we don't allow pets in the building."
You: "You don't understand, my dog here needs to get a cash advance on his credit card.
Dog: "bark bark, woof, please, thank you, bark."

Them: "...........

[awkward pause]

[Continued awkwardness]

.................."
Them: "umm..... excuse me, i'll go get a manager."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now that you have given out your dog's SSN, may I have her mother's maiden name, please? And address? Not that I intend to steal her identity....

.........dogs have maiden names? and do dog houses count as a separate address? like 1325 E. Main, Unit B?

Only if your husband is in trouble....

HAHA!

So Boosami, my guess as to how this happened.... I assume you did this online? Their computer system simply takes the SSN, searches it against the credit bureaus, gets a credit history and score, or in the case of credit newbies (such as your dog), it shows 'no credit history', and assigns a credit limit based on that. No human eyes ever probably saw your dog's application. If at all, they just looked at the fact that she had no credit history, and assigned her the card with a minimal credit line. What's her credit limit? probably no more than $500 if I'm right....

So that's my guess.... or, the other explanation is that your CC company is clinically STUPID, in which case I might consider changing to a more intelligent company...

That's hilarlious, yet so depressing.

So... are you gonna use the card?
